He's right, of course, which means the Tea Party needs to take over the GOP and eliminate as many RINOs as possible, ASAP.

Agreed:
Dump the RINOs - Crist, McCIn, Bennett, Graham-nesty and the rest. They are all Dem Trojan horses and McCain is probably worse than Arlen Specter.

Hey Dan, the Tea Parties have sprung up because the entire frickin’ Republican Party has gone Perot!

Vice President Quayle is the scion of one of the oldest leading Indiana families and worth hundreds of millions. Did you expect him to support Governor Palin? LOL

He had me until he praised Romney.Yeah, I don't get that. It goes against all of the other things he says.
Maybe he'll figure out that tea party conservatives don't WANT Romney.

A close look at the tea party membership will find many of those independents who went for Obama but now regret it.
Where is this membership list that Mr. Quayle speaks of?

"lol...Advice from Dan Quayle?" Hate to be this way, but here it is: Dan Quayle was a United States Senator and Vice President. What have you done that compares?

"Where is this membership list that Mr. Quayle speaks of?" I believe he's referencing a recent Quinnipac University poll that purports to show the makeup of the Tea Party Movement.

A close look at the tea party membership will find many of those independents who went for Obama but now regret it. Dan, do us all a favor and recognize, if you will that a significant number of the people at TEA party gatherings are people who have tired of being shat upon by the GOP they have supported decade after decade, hoping it would see the error of its ways and quit compromising its way into liberal territory.
John F. Kennedy, the quintessential Democrat, could run to the right of many in the GOP if he was still alive.
The ball is in the Republican Party Court, so to speak.
If the Republican Party fails to recognize that the most energized of its former base now wear TEA party T-shirts and wave flags and posters and signs at such rallies, than the Republican Party will go the way of the Whigs.
God help the Republic if that happens, but there are a lot of eggshells on the way to an omlette.
If the Republican Party fails to run candidates who will fight the encroaching socialist juggernaut which is already strangling our economy and destroying our industry, things will get very ugly before (if ever) the Republic is restored.
You strike me as a man who loves this country, its traditional values, and its Constitution. I, for one recognize the Alinsky-style tactics which the media used to marginalize you as a serious political force, and now, I think millions more will also.
If you love this Republic as we do, do not ask us to compromise our principles, but help us restore it by insisting the GOP run the most conservative candidates the districts will elect. There is no time like the present, with an overwhelming majority of Americans disgusted with the current administration and its policies.

What did he do besides get himself elected?
